Supreme Court said: Judge Fields opinion is

he is a member has held repeatedly that Con

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORDINANCE

In another column will be found the
ordinance to authorize Mr.. +. l.. Wat
tiers to construct and operate system
of electric light, power and heating lines
in Mankato. Nothing more liberal In
the way of franchise could be drawn
than this ordinance, and there is GER
tainly no apparent good reason why the
council will not grant the charter, mas
much as it is conceded by all that our
city is in nee Of electric light. Authori-
ty is reser, ID to the city, at any time
when it may so choose, to light the streets
and public buildings itself. Mr.. Waters
binds himself, or his assigns. by reason
of the franchise granted, to turn over to
the city all profits in excess of II per
cent on the actual cost of plant and oper-
atoms, and accords free access to his
books for the purpose Of enabling the
city to get at the true receipts and ex-
penditures. He further shows his hon
violation of section shall be the for
FIXTURE of the franchise. This section
declares that if Waters may see fit to
dispose of his franchise the stock shall
not be issued in any greater sum than
the investments that shall have been
actually made, and in case bonds shall
at any time be issued, then the total sum
of both bonds and stock shall not at any
time exceed the actual investment.
The ordinance bears the imprint of
fairness and honesty in every line.
There is not, as is too often the case
with charters granted by cities, any loop
holes left open for deception or swind-
ling. There is no "skin" game contem-
plated in this ordinance, and no chance
for any to be practiced. 1t is square
business proposition, and in the interest
of much needed enterprise.
